Wow, it took me a month to finally get to download something from Overdrive. Apparently it really messes a person up to have downloaded the Overdrive console to MIL and then try to use it at MUK. I couldn't use it, couldn't uninstall it, couldn't reinstall it, grrr! I finally just used the Overdrive console on the generic ("mukilteo") desktop. Once I used that, it worked great! I downloaded a book (Aesop's Fables) and a short video ("anansi") just to see how it works.
I'm going to have to try installing the console at home, I guess. I know when we first got Overdrive, my husband (who has a rotten commute to downtown Seattle & really enjoys audiobooks) had a heck of a time trying to get Overdrive on our home computer, and he's more computer savvy than I am.
Once I listened to the book and watched the video, though, I was really excited about this product/service. I just love the idea of being able to enjoy a story anywhere that I tote my laptop (I don't have an MP3 player now, but take our laptop on trips). I'm not picky about what I listen to, so I was happy with the selection. It's great to think that my little boy can watch a really quality video like Anansi, right on our computer. (We don't have TV at home.)
